Holy gently caress.

Like, there's a joke political party in New Zealand, that was active until 1999. The McGillicuddy Serious Party. One of its proposed policy changes was enforcing driving on the right-hand side of the road, to be phased in over the course of four years, starting with the heaviest vehicles.

They are somehow more reasonable than what is actually going on in India if Nenonen's info is correct.

That sounds like a good party platform. They could even get rid of the phasing-in part.

In Australia we have flies and mozzies everywhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussie_salute. A big harmless huntsman is way cool to keep around for getting them. One of the first things I noticed about moving to another part of the world was the lack of flies. God I hate them.

Pianka reports that the Aussie salute is effective only as long as the flies are not too sticky, and that once a fly has tasted sweat, hand waving is generally useless at encouraging it to leave, with physically wiping the fly off being required.[2]

I genuinely wish nothing but the worst things on the Red Panels guy. That's his name, since he's got such courage of convictions that he posts his bigoted nonsense anonymously.

Also worth noting: the people who did that thing are all in jail and will be staying there for a long time. BLM tends to care about people who don't go to jail for their crimes.

Aside from having a good message, what I like about Bors' depiction of Trump is how he plays up what I find to be his least attractive feature, which is just how pale the area around his eyes are from the rest of his spray tan. Other people lay on tanning beds with those tiny little glasses that just cover your eyes but he must wear giant ones. I'm looking forward to seeing what just a month or two of being POTUS will do to his physical appearance when he doesn't have time for poo poo like bronzer.

He wants to go back to New York on the weekends; he'll have tons of free time.

...That wasn't the point of the cartoon? Looked pretty straightforward to me, the cartoonist was criticizing the people likely to attack Starbucks for its refugee-friendly and LGBT-friendly policies.

No, he's saying that welcoming refugees into the country will result in dead people after Starbucks gets shot up by swarthy refugee-terrorists.

Feta is made from sheep's milk, I think.

Edit: Sheep's milk or sheep's milk mixed with up to 30% goat's milk, apparently. Sheep's milk is the primary ingredient though.

It's still monstrous and entirely wipes out the advances in science and government that Greece contributed.
